About Me

CURRENT MISSION

save the ocean

ABOUT ME

An Australian working in Amsterdam on deep-sea conservation. My husband is a climate campaigner for Greenpeace. I am often in Brussels for work so you may be able to stay there with me too. Right now I have just joined The Hub but am interested in co-working with other freelance people at my comfortable and spacious apartment.

PHILOSOPHY

If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
